　　答案:B

　　解析:细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句 “...she saw,you didn’t need so much to be up to date with things as ahead of them,lying in wait for circumstance,ready to jump.” 可知,南希认为,等待和抓住机会是成功的关键。故B项正确。

　　答案:C

　　解析:词义猜测题。根据最后一段可知,杂志主编原本想打电话给艾力克斯,但他最讨厌的一个同事可能和艾力克斯联系密切,所以他打给了南希。由此可推知,画线部分指艾力克斯。故C项正确。

　　B.Nancy got the job in National Daily by chance.

　　C.Regular columnists are better than freelance writers.

　　解析:推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句 “She learned that one of the paper’s regular columnists(专栏作家) had quitted the job.So Nancy made the necessary phone call to apply for the job.” 以及第三段最后一句 “She realized that the job presented her with a wonderful opportunity.” 可知,一次偶然的机会南希得知National Daily的一名专栏作家离职,她随即抓住了这一机会求职;根据最后一段可知,主编本想用艾力克斯,但因其同事的原因才用了南希。由此可判断,南希是偶然得到机会在National Daily工作的。故B项正确。
